I find it rather interesting that the vast majority of the people who have and are now spamming this thread with their scorn aren't even the ones who normally exhibit the behavior that I'm griping about.

You're doing an excellent job of providing a convenient smoke-screen for those who do to hide behind, though.

"They should rename the team to the Washington Government Sucks. Put Obama on the helmet. Line the entire walls of the stadium with the actual text of the ACA.

Fix their home team score on the board to the debt clock, they can win every game 17,000,000,000,000 to 24. Losing team gets taxed by the IRS 100%, then droned."

I'm still not even sure what behaviour you're referring to.

Could you possibly elaborate? Maybe then I'll understand what the problem is.

EDIT: Because, after all, if i'm one of the 'accused', and having accusations levelled at me, i'd like know exactly i'm accused of, and why.

Please tell us all you know in dot point form. You don't need proof, but if you really want to expose what is apparently the cancer of LFN... then please. Take the first step and list it clearly that even a monkey in a bath tub playing with a rubber ducky can understand in your next post.

You never replied to me. I gave you an opportunity to expose the cancer within LFN and even said you didn't need any proof.

Lets get back to reality. Do you know how easy it is to deal with this stuff?

Is there a clique of moderators and visitors? Sure there is. Starting post of the original thread comes off like the whose who of Lucasforums.com. It doesn't surprise me that there is one; however, I kind of wish they didn't stick up for each other. Average visitors come in and complain about some of them, and the moderators jump to their friend's defence. Can anyone on the outside do anything about it? Not directly. I know of three people on that list who should have been banned, and I know who comes to their defence on a daily basis. I will be witness in saying I have seen some balanced justice at times; however, I have never seen the rules be tightened to the equivalency of absolute.

when I battle chimps I usually have a line of longbowmen screened by halberdiers, once the chimps break I ride them down with light cavalry. It always eventually comes down to a duel with the chimp's bestial leader however, but since they can only use simple tools I easily dispatch him with my hanzo steel

Then perhaps now might be the appropriate time for these issues to be addressed, seeing as things appear to be coming to a head.

The only thing visitors can do is report posts, or they can send a private message to a moderator or admin. Its out of our hands at that point. What can you do? You trust those in charge to make honest choices. Are they supporting their friend, or are they supporting the wellbeing of the forums? I have seen some justice served out; thus, I can't complain about too much of an imbalance. I take the word of the moderator or admin who is dealing with the issue. They say everything is fine, I have to believe they are being truthfull.

I don't think there is an absolute answer outside of what I mentioned. You could try talking at legnth with a moderator.

Reason: Made it more generalized.

As for the jester badge itself, I do agree that the bar is set too high for that badge, I also agree that deleting posts isn't very good and argued that point a long time ago to a point where I got so upset that I left LFN for over a year.

If you really don't like DI that much you can always put him on your ignore list with whoever else you feel you don't want to have to deal with. I can understand being sick and tired of other peoples asshattery, I really can.

I think what it comes down to is that there are so many people around in here within and outside of the staff who have a view of how this place should be run. I argue and debate with other staff all the time but just because I don't agree with some of their methods doesn't exactly make them elitists or immature.

...on the subject of immaturity, I'm guilty as charged... and I can safely say that I can be even more immature than any of the suspect elitists too.

Actually, it is your assuption based on incomplete information that is false...

Seems like a lot of people here have incomplete information by the looks of it...

I walked away from the thread at that point. I took the deletion as your post was not good enough. I walked away with thinking my posts were not welcomed in there; thus, I glossed over Jae's reasoning behind the deletion. Why bother nominating anyone if it doesn't mater?

So you assumed that your posts weren't welcome. It's entirely possible your recommendation was rejected, and removed to keep the thread clear.
